TRU energy which owns Yallourn Power station in the Latrobe Valley enjoyed a large rise in profits last year up 22% to $A105.8 million. This money goes to the shareholders in TRU energies parent company CLP (China Light and Power) a Hong Kong based mult-national. The profits according to the Age come largely off the back of record output from the carbon belching brown coal electricity generator Yallourn in the Latrobe Valley.
Yallourn produces 22% of Victoria's electricity and %8 of our national electricity. The power station built with public money was sold off to the polluting multi-national parasite in 1996 by the Kennett Government.
